SINGAPORE – A woman cheated the director of online retailer PremiumMall of nearly $220,000 in total after duping the seller of luxury goods into believing that she had paid for some items, even though no cash was transferred to the firm.
Hetty Rafeta Roselan, 35, was sentenced on Friday (Oct 2) to two years and four months’ jail after pleading guilty to a cheating charge involving nearly $130,000.
Three other similar charges linked to the remaining sum were considered during sentencing.
PremiumMall is an online retailer that sells luxury items, such as bags and shoes, on online channels including Facebook, Carousell and Lazada.
Sometime in early 2015, Hetty found an advertisement on PremiumMall’s Facebook page and decided to buy a handbag from the retailer.
The jobless Singaporean communicated with PremiumMall’s director, Ms Lee Bee Yee, 48, via messaging app Telegram to arrange for payment to be made in advance via a bank transfer.
Hetty transferred the payment to the firm’s bank account and sent a screenshot of the transaction to Ms Lee.
